Anybody have inverted forks?
I would like to get the Storz 55mm Blackout forks for my Fat Bob.
Anyone want to share some pros/cons with their experience? Doesn't have to be Storz forks.

RE: Anybody have inverted forks?
Storz products are very high quality. The finish is great and the performance is top of the line.
Installation was pretty easy. In addition to the big pieces (forks,trees,stem,axle) you will need some lesser parts - wheel spacers, maybe a disk spacer if you go wide, maybe fender spacers.

RE: Anybody have inverted forks?
Depends what fork you buy. Start looking by looking at the winners circle. Stortz is missing there. Now the assessment. Do your homework first and go to a for real suspension shop. Do not read magazines for information and hype. Go to a person who does it for a living like a race tuners shop & pick a winner on the national level while doing so. There are a few good companies who make forks like myself for Harley’s. You have to know what is inside them to make a determination. The parts should be easily assessable as you will need to rebuild it eventually. The ride on a Harley is simply in a different solar system in comparison (great inverted forks to stock or modified forks such as Progressive). With proper suspension and set up to your personal weight, sprung, valved and set (adjusted) for your immediate riding conditions, all road irregularities are a thing of the past. The frame does not move, the wheels do. The current better fork manufacturers (make sure you are buying the best quality forks (model) as there is a difference) are; [ul][*]Marzocchi[/ul] [ul][*]Öhlins[/ul] [ul][*]Myself We use some internal parts new from Öhlins (Superbike Quality), some from other venders and make the rest in N. Miami, FL. Ride at Daytona than decide. [/ul] I am not going to spend a few hours typing why but any and all can call toll free.
